I need to do simple editing on security camera footage with codec H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, Audio 8000 Hz(MULAW I think). Nothing fancy-trim,lables,X time speed with pictures, notes,menu. Need to include other formats in video as well. Win media player does...

Cyberlink PowerDirector 12, and it's previous versions, can import/export H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, as well as all common video/photo formats.

Thanks a lot for your kind answer. I know the ZS3 looks better on the spec sheet, but here in Brazil it is absurdly expensive. 80% more than the SX200, God knows why. I am ok with the H264 because it works fine on IMovie and Vimeo. Not so sure about AVCHD, even though I know it is a more modern codec.

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

Mike,Hello. The only decent editing software I found to work ok with the raw Vado HD files was Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. When I tried Premiere Pro CS4 I experienced the same thing as you. I would get audio, but no video. It seems you might have to convert your footage first.Oscar V.

i use iMovie for edits. Not overly fond of the newer version of iMovie, but it makes the basic edits I need. Video everything onto SD card and then plug the SD card directly into my iMac. Upload from there and then edit away. Also use Premier, but not much. Like I said, my edits are usually really basic.

Your computer are perfectly fine. You need Sony vegas Platnium 9 pro pack to do your AVCHD editing. It come with DVD Architect 4.5 authoring. For under $100 you can't beat it. My Dell laptop duo core T5750 processor 2.0 GHz, 2 gig ram work fine for me, no problem what so ever. I have used and own: Sony Vegas movie studio Platnium 9. Sony Vegas Pro 8 Sony vegas pro 9 My laptop run fine with it.

Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software. I use Pinnacle 12, with the recent AVCHD update, but I still have trouble synchronizing the audio with the video. Have tried many things, including new video card. I have a fairly fast computer and lots of memory. The camera will convert to SD, but of course the image will not be nearly as nice. SD, however, is so much simpler to edit.I will admit, the more I use the camera, in basic, automatic modes, the more I like its features. The on board lamp does actually help, some. Color adjustment in auto mode still lacks, but overall, its a lot of camera for the money.Good luck, sir. Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software.

MPEG 2 is the standard and is superior to MPEG 4. Do a search for comparison info. You can avoid bad info that some people are giving here.

I came across some good example clips at vimeo.comIf you go there and search "HF100" and "night" or "low light" you will find what you are looking for.The streaming clips are in Flash but you can also download higher quality clips to give a better idea of the camcorders capabilities.

This camera uses a new codec- an H.264 version of an HD Data stream called AVCHD. While Macs are good at working with H.264, currently, only Final Cut Pro has codecs for H.264. Its not clear that Final Cut Pro can read this new format (AVCHD) currently, though one can expect that Apple will probably update it to do so soon (Since H.264 codecs come with the application.) iMovie HD, however, does not support H.264 video, so it is not clear whether it will, or when it will, work with the AVCHD format video this camera produces.

I've been using a digital camera since the beginning to take short video clips of my son for a family blog that I run. Up until recently I've used a little Sony DSC-W90 which as worked quite well for 640x480. I just picked up a FZ28 and the video quality is fairly decent but beware that it records in Quicktime which means you can't directly use the video in the convenient Windows Movie Maker. My biggest disappointment so far with the movie mode on the FZ28 is the muddy sound quality -- my little DSC-W90 beats it hands down for that. Note also that video hosting sites are just starting to offer HD uploads so you may not get great HD hosting in the short term. Pros: 720P and WVGA (848x480) video modes, zoom while filming Cons: Quicktime format not editable in Windows Movie Maker, muddy sound quality

Sorry to say that I'm unfamiliar to webcams and what type of file format they save on. However, I did a bit of research on the HD Pro Webcam C920 and found that it likes to make the recorded file into an H.264 format. It's basically compresses the video so that it takes less space than that of a MPEG-2 format. I would assume that it is compatible with Vegas Pro 12 since it's new. I'm surprised that there isn't that much info on this particular thing. All I can find is how to render (save) edited videos in H.264 format. The best one I can find is this link to Yahoo Answers, but it talks about an older version of Vegas Pro: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090909053518AAcMwS8 Hope this helps!

I tried with clean vista installation. You can edit the audio track only. Technically you can edit if you have the right codec. But I Goolged a lot and nobody seems to be able to do it with Microsoft Movie maker or other free video editor.

Yea, you could use this on imovie. h.264 codec is compatible for most editing apps. This does the job right. I highly recommend this.

AVCD files are multi-files (image/sound/indexing), so you have to import all of them together to your editing software. They work great, but must be together to play. This happens naturally when you use the "content management utility" soft provided with the NX70 camera to download your clips from the camera to the computer. Here is some more information about AVCHD files: http://www.winxdvd.com/resource/avchd-video.htm Its quite simple, but looks a bit weird when you start with them. Have fun.
